Yep, that’s her! The pic that I took! :D It was *crazy* how it happened! Brian, the editor in chief of Creating Keepsakes Magazine was surfing my blog!! :) First he found the free fonts and wanted to mention them in his “Top 5 Cool Things” article… Then he saw the picture of Amerie and wanted to use it on the cover! I said “OF COURSE!!!”. :)

I’ve been stalking the periodicals aisle of Barnes & Noble for weeks now (and I’ve gained 5 lbs from all the extra mochas I’ve been drinking), but last night after church I wandered in, fully expecting them *not* to have it… And there it was! :) It was down on the bottom shelf, so of course I had to move a couple up to eye level. ;) Sorry B&N employees, that was me. :D

Boy, I need a tan! If you flip a few pages to the table of contents they have the pic again, along with the photo credit.

And if you flip to the very back page, you’ll find Brian’s Top 5 article. It’s the Fonts for Peas page!! :)

Look what he said!! :)

Thanks Brian!! :) If you haven’t seen it yet, hurry to your nearest booksellers and check it out! :D Also, keep an eye out on this page: Alternate Covers. They will be posting two alternate covers using Amerie’s picture. I haven’t even seen them yet and I am dying to know what they look like! So help me stalk it!! ;)

Oh, and I promise haven’t forgotten about the last 14 fonts of February! :) With all the excitement, I’m a few days late and a few fonts short, but I will make it up to you. :) I promise! Just keep an eye out around here… You’ll find out! ;)

Amanda, you’ve been my hero since I found your fonts forever ago…it’s about time you get the recognition you deserve, darlin’…Congratulations. Your talents and skills set you apart from the rest of the pack and a cover doesn’t surprise me at all. Hugs, darlin’…a chubby little gray haired (soon to be gramdma!!!) in Texas is very proud of you…

UHU!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy for you, you totally deserve it!!!!!!!! You are an example of hard and wonderful work, and yes, you are a lot of skills!! Love your pictures and I hope one day I can take some with the same quality as yours!!! I’m very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Amanda, wowzers that is such an honour to get the cover with your photo (and what a sweet photo at that!). And congrats on more promotion of your free fonts. Yours was one of the first scrapping fonts places I ever found on the net, and I still check it out for more! :)

I saw that picture on the cover and thought “man that looks familiar” but didn’t even go to look at the credits. And I also saw the mention inside about your fonts… and was like “Hey! I know that site!”
Awesome photography skills! Congrats on being on the cover!

Congratulations Amanda! I found your blog last year when we moved in our new home. I was looking for ideas for a scrap room and have been with you ever since. I loved that picture along with all the other ones you share. Not to mention your fonts. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Amanda…you are soooo talented and am glad that you are getting some big time recognition. Have always admired your photography and the photo of Amerie is just wonderful. I imagine that you and her parents are buying up all the magazines they can find. Here’s to more fame!

How wonderful! That is really something special, and you should be proud. Congratulations! Oh- I used Pea Stacy for Ella’s 5th b’day invitations and it turned out so cute! I used Pea Jenny Script for her party favors. Just precious!

So totally cool and well deserved….now whatcha gonna do??? Reach for the stars girl!!! I’ve turned into a Pea font junkie and everyone on my staff was dying to get their hands on my fonts…!!! Fantastic for you!

I just received my issue in the mail and was just saying how cute the little girl was! I saw your website in the top five and had to check it out… what can I saw, It’s AWESOME! Thank you for all the free fonts, I can’t wait till my son goes to sleep so I can start scrapbooking and playing with the new fonts! Thanks again and CONGRATS:)

I have to admit I went hunting you down to link you up when I do my blog post about this cover. I am one of the lucky girls who had the opportunity to work with your beautiful photo and was even luckier that my layout was picked to be on the cover to showcase it :)

It was truly a pleasure and SOOOOO much fun to do a girlie page (I have all boys!) and I hope you feel I did it justice! All the best!

WOW, congrats! Your website is getting HUGE! I know I love it. I learned about kevinandamanda.com from my professor, when I was taking a class specifically on children with special needs a few semesters ago. We were talking about ways to help kids with special modifications, and she suggested your site to turn the handwriting of kids with special needs and must type everything due to a disability into a font, so that when their peers produced handwritten work, they could theoretically do it, too! She also scrapbooks and said your website had much more stuff, too. So I got online, found you, and I’ve been in LOVE with the site ever since… I’ve started blogging myself, and although my blog is more like a journal and no where near as fun and helpful as yours, I’m loving it! Thanks for all your inspiration & CONGRATS!

Congratulations! My name is Grace from Sunny Townsville Queensland Australia and guess what I have that Creating Keepsake Magazine that you are referring to. I actually followed that lay out (front cover) for my 2 year old’s picture. Amazing! Well keep up the good work and I love your site girl. God bless you and your family.

Hi, Amanda,
I stumbled upon your blog through a link from a friend’s blog. I have to say how amazingly inspirational you are. I began surfing through your blog yesterday and, for the past 24 hours, I cannot seem to pass the computer without sitting down to read more on your blog! I just love reading it. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with all of us. :)

Hi Amanda. I stumbled across your blog a few months back while looking for a camera bag. I have a bad habit of just throwing mine in my purse..OUCH. I have been addicted ever since! I purchased your BIG back pack & I love it! I just picked up the Understanding Exposure book this week. Very helpful!! Im going to Purchase the 24-70 lens this week. Im still learning to use my camera & REALLY want to be a better photographer. Your How To’s really help me learn how to navigate my camera.
Im just learning to cook so needless to say Ive gained a few pounds from your site (especially the creamed corn MY FAVORITE)
Needless to say your kinda an inspiration to me & I just wanted to say thanks for helping people like me!!
